He ran his hand through his hair then turned as if he felt my eyes on him. A smile slowly spread across his face and my knees went rubbery. It took me a moment to realize what I was feeling as I thought this was only a feeling in a movie, not something I could actually feel.
He came over to me with his hand stretched out. I hesitated to take it unsure what the gesture meant. His hand wrapped around mine and he guided me to the table, pulled out a chair, then motioned for me to sit.
This completely felt like a movie. I squeezed my eyes shut then blinked them open and I was still on the rooftop, sitting at the table.
“What would you like to eat?” he asked as he sat.
“Is this how you billionaires eat?” I cocked my head. “…purchase a whole floor just for the night to impress a woman? A woman you’ve already gone to bed with by the way.”

“Stay still,” I told him.
“Why…?”
“I want to capture this moment in my head, and I want to remember it always…even when I am not here.”
“Gia.”
“Please. Just stay still.”
After a few seconds of complete silence, I picked up the menu from the table as an excuse to hide my burning cheeks.
